Abstract

A self bonding floor tile includes a main body and a self bonding layer connected with the main body. The self bonding layer includes an absorbate, a first adhesive and a second adhesive. The first adhesive connects the main body with the self bonding layer. At least a portion of the absorbate extends into the first adhesive, and at least a portion of the second adhesive penetrates into the absorbate for connecting the self bonding layer with a body to be decorated. A method for manufacturing the self bonding floor tile includes: providing a main body; spreading a first adhesive over the main body; providing an absorbate with porous or wick structure, and adding the absorbate to the first adhesive; spreading a second adhesive over the absorbate. The present self bonding floor tile can be quickly installed, easily and partly replaced with low installation and replacement cost.

Claims (28)

1 . A self bonding floor tile, comprising:

a main body; and

a self bonding layer connected with the main body, and comprising an absorbate, a first adhesive and a second adhesive, the first adhesive connecting the main body with the self bonding layer, at least a portion of the absorbate extending into the first adhesive, and at least a portion of the second adhesive penetrating into the absorbate for connecting the self bonding layer with a body to be decorated.

2 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbate is securely coupled with the first adhesive into a whole.

3 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbate is added to the first adhesive after the first adhesive is spread over the main body.

4 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 3 , wherein the absorbate is added to the first adhesive by electrostatic spraying, flocking process, or knitting method.

5 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 3 , wherein the second adhesive is spread over the absorbate after the absorbate is added to the first adhesive.

6 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbate is a soft, porous substance or a soft substance with wick structure.

7 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 6 , wherein the absorbate is cotton fiber, glass fiber, blend fiber, or flocked fiber.

8 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive is PVC paste resins, epoxy adhesive, phenolglue, vinyl adhesive, or polyurethane adhesive, and the second adhesive is hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive.

9 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 1 , wherein the main body includes a base layer, a decoration layer and a wear-resistant layer, the decoration layer is located above the base layer, the wear-resistant layer is located above the decoration layer, and the first adhesive is spread over the base layer.

10 . The self bonding floor tile according to claim 9 , wherein the base layer, the decoration layer and the wear-resistant layer are formed into a whole by hot-pressing method.

11 . A method for manufacturing a self bonding floor tile, comprising:

providing a main body;

spreading a first adhesive over the main body;

providing an absorbate with porous or wick structure, and adding the absorbate to the first adhesive; and

spreading a second adhesive over the absorbate.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein after the absorbate is added to the first adhesive, a portion of the absorbate extends into the first adhesive and the other portion of the absorbate is exposed outside of the first adhesive.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the step of spreading the second adhesive over the absorbate means spreading the second adhesive over the portion of the absorbate which exposed outside of the first adhesive.

14 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the absorbate is added to the first adhesive by electrostatic spraying, flocking process, or knitting method.

15 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the second adhesive is spread over the absorbate by hot transfer process, or spraying method.

16 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the absorbate is securely coupled with the first adhesive into a whole.

17 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the absorbate is cotton fiber, glass fiber, blend fiber, or flocked fiber.

18 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first adhesive is PVC paste resins, epoxy adhesive, phenolglue, vinyl adhesive, or polyurethane adhesive, and the second adhesive is hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive.

19 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the step of providing a main body comprising:

providing a base layer, a decoration layer and a wear-resistant layer; and

hot-pressing the base layer, the decoration layer and the wear-resistant layer to be a whole.

20 . The method according to claim 19 , wherein the step of spreading a first adhesive over the main body means spreading the first adhesive over the base layer of the main body.
